The last week of summer before children got back into the swing of school was far from boring for the 30 children participating in “Gross Out Camp” at The Alabama Wildlife Federation Lanark Nature Center. Gross Out Camp is a partnership with Fresh Air Family, a state-wide outdoor education non-profit. The camp is sponsored by Beasley Allen.

Gross Out Camp is an award-winning science camp where children learn through hands-on field biology. Campers spent most of their time “in the field” searching for macroinvertibrates, bugs, plants, rocks and more. We learned that the children had the most fun spending time in the creek and hiking. We are pleased to have partnered once again with Fresh Air Family to bring this unique camp to our area.
